Brought a brand new  GN  S/H kaboom 2014 model yesterday of Ebay for 46.00 bit of a gamble for me regarding  how  heavy it is as although I contacted  the seller and requested  the weight his reply was he did not know

Hoping for a new duffle bag - either the GM one or the New Balance one (really hoping NB do a Black and Orange one or a Blue and yellow one rather than the red "woodworm" one!). I will also be in the market for some new playing trousers.

May go for some new gloves too, that depends on the new model of GM OLE though... the new range is due for promotion in September.

Just filled my boots with new boots in the sales which has been great my other stuff is all good... I need to spend more time improving my fitness and practising rather than buying kit.


I have decided that I also want a bat like Matt Coles has - but with those sexy blue stickers too from H4L. I am going to need to do some saving!

I really want to start supporting forum sponsors more and move away from cheap and cheerful indian imports and go for the added quality and insurance.

I'll be looking to add a @Red Ink Cricket or a B3 next summer. I would get one today but I've been told if I spend any more money on bats and something is getting cut off!

My resolve not to buy more kit was unwavering until @Vitas Cricket posted those bloody Warbird photos...

Really cleared out a lot of kit this season and will continue to do so. Staying will be my TON Legacy Elite as it's a superb bat and my SS keeping kit as my keeping this year except for one poor game has been very good if I do say so myself,

I have a couple of new sticks already for next year from RK ,GM & Kook and one of those will be my main kit, iv had an awful season with the bat, actually my worst ever season so next year I will net and play with one bat and one set of softs all year just have the winter to decide which one and then get a bag to match which ever I choose. but at this stage no more bats except maybe the GN Classic if Jake @Vitas Cricket can find me one as good as he found me one a couple of seasons back.

Winter sales have yielded some new spikes from Puma and at this stage that's all I needed as didn't get on with my Adidas vector spikes.

Can we pin this post please? I want to check it in a year to see how close to the truth it is! :D

I was hoping nothing, but I echo Alvaro in that if Vitas hadn't posted up those Warbird pics... Who am I kidding, would have found some other way to try justify another purchase anyways!

Blue Room - Ever since I tried one which was 2.13, I have never played with a bat which was quite nearly so good on the drive. The new graphics on them and the profiles have me tempted...

H4L Warbird - Looks fantastic, and have always been a fan of H4L bats in terms of performance. Since skipping down a bit in weight, the 2.9s Vitas has in stock are tempting...

RK - Have been chatting with Ryan about getting one made up for me, it's just a matter of when I make up my mind on the profile!

I'm really hoping to not buy anything this year, no doubt I'll probably end up getting a new bat, probably a couple of unnecessary accessories and  maybe a new pair of shoes

.............I am not really aiming to increase the collection again - with the exception of one bat that I have already agreed on and am getting next month! Bat is in the sale section but will confirm and do pictures once it is with me in September!  ;)
............The only other kit (apart from the exciting addition to the bat collection) are a couple of pairs of batting gloves.

Oh well, that lasted no time at all! But if they would sell the Octane 808 for that price then what can we do!!

I don't really need anything as I've got two H4L's in my bag (one of which hasn't even hit a ball yet) and my old Kahuna but I'm almost certain to end up retiring the Kook and replacing it with either another H4L, a Red Ink or a B3.

I need new spikes! I want; a Red Ink and a Blank Bats but I can't find it in me being a lower order batsman to have 3 bats at one time.
